Here are a few of our interests

bulletAutos - Steve first interest--perhaps an obsession--was with cars.  Most any car would do until his family took delivery of a new Mercedes-Benz at the factory in Stuttgart in 1961.  Steve's first cars were considerably more pedestrian--a 1959 Renault Dauphine followed by a 1960 Renault Caravelle.  Here are some links to some pages we find interesting

bullet Steve's Mercedes-Benz pages--particularly interesting to MB aficionado's for some of the service info found there.

bulletTravel - We love to travel--especially by road.  After 20 years of traveling by car and staying in motels, we've switched to RVing and we love it.  We especially like the back roads and places off the beaten path.  For example . .

bulletDogs - most folks would call us empty nesters, but we call our dogs our kids now, so the nest isn't completely empty.  These kids don't spend as much money as the 2-legged ones, but they aren't far behind!  A whole page dedicated to our dogs
